l 'Patented Dec, 3,1907.

T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Emmer P. Evnen'rr, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Astoria, borough of Queens, county of Queens, and State of New York, have invented a -new and Improved Paper Barrel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention is an improvement' in aper barrels relating more especially to that by winding a sheet of pa er upon itself` to form the barrel body. These strips are usually provided with wedge-shaped incisions entering o posite ed es in order that when Wound the a1*- rel wil have the usual oval form. As now placed, these incisions are directly opposite each other, which materially weakens the paper on these lin'es and often causing it to tear when dam cned with anadhesive sub-` stance during t e Winding operation. With my invention this objection'is overco efby forming said incisions inopposite edges of the strip in staggered relation. 4Also peovided' in connection with the barrehis anoyel form of he ad which is readily appli'eidvayiid re?" moved.

.Reference is to be had to theaccompanygi ing drawings forming a part of thisrspeciiication, in which similar characters-of reference indicate corresponding parts in. all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal/central section through a barrel embodying my improvement Fig. 2 is an end view of the same 5 Fig. 3 is a fragmentary lan of a paper strip which -is .wound to orm thebarrel body; Fig. 4 is an edge view of a hoop which is s e-' cured in each edge ofthe barrel,said .View showing the hoop when straivhteneda out, and Fig. 5 is an inside view of t e same.

In carrying out my invention, l employ a has cut into its opposite edges a series of wedge-shaped incisions 2, each series of in' lcisions being placed 1n staggered relation 1nstead of directly opposed as is usual in structures of thispcharacter. The. incisions are of such length that the center of the strip rendered materiell stronger.

itself to form the barrel ody, the paper is not liable to tear across as it would b e in constructions wherein the incisions are 'directly opposed. Especially is this so when the strip is 'd ampened with an adhesive substance upon the inside' -ablyuofheavy pressed paper or cardoa'rd, andlconstructed with a series of slots or cutto stick the successive layers together when wound. 'The blank may befwound by any desired mechanism which will bring the successive layers of the strip close together and press them, forming a closely wound and compact barrel body 3, as illustrated in Fi s. 1 and 2." In the Winding of this body t ev edgesof -the 'wed e-shaped incisions are brought close togeter, as shown in Fi 2,

each end and making it of the usualoval form. The joints formed by these incisions, when the strip is Wound, are overlappedby the nextadjacent layer, as shown in igl 2, in order that the barrel 'may 'not be 'materiall weakened on these lines'. 'y

T e inner layer lof the strip forming the barrel body is woundupon hoops 4 arranged ofthe barrel at each end thereof. These hoops, as best shown in Figs. 1 4 and 5, are' formed of sheet metaland are 'corrugated-to provide on their inner faces contracting the diameter of the barre at ribs5 spaced apart asuiiicient distance ,t'o reoei-ve a head 6. The inner rib 5 of-each ring lisfmade continuous Whereas the, outer' rib is cut out in places, making it ofan' interrupted character.

Thebarrel heads 6 are eachformed refer I out portions 7 corresponding in number and size to the remaining segments of the intenrupted rib 5. *By this arrangement each head may be easily passedV over an adjacent interrupted rib, and seated on the continuous rib where it is revolved slightly in either direction, bringing itto the position shown' in Fig. 2,y in Which position it cannot be .with-v drawn. Each continuous rib 5 not only formsa seat for a corresponding head 6, limiting its further inward movement, but also acts to close the slots or cut-outportions 7 in the circumference of .the lhead and prevent the contents ofthe barrelV from Wasting out through vthese openings. f l
